If the vehicle is being driven errati-
cally, the driver is notified by an
acoustic signal plus the text mes-
Driver Alert Time for a break
sage
- the linked symbol is illuminated in the com-
bined instrument panel at the same time. The
warning is repeated after a time if driving abil-
ity does not improve.
The warning symbol can be switched off:

Press the left-hand stalk switch's OK but-
ton.
WARNING
An alarm should be taken very seriously,
as a sleepy driver is often not aware of
his/her own condition.
In the event of an alarm or a feeling of
tiredness; stop the car in a safe manner as
soon as possible and rest.
Studies have shown that it is equally as
dangerous to drive while tired as it is under
the influence of alcohol.
